MSVCP140.dll is missing, or was not found. FIX error without downloading DLLs
How to fix the MSVCP140.dll missing and how to get the dll directly from Microsoft, Most tutorials guide you to get the MSVCP140.dll, and VCRUNTIME140.dll from some obscure website(s) on the web and that's a big mistake and may cause substantial harm to your computer.
Let's go through how to get those missing dlls directly from Microsoft Windows website
In short:
Those two DLLs (MSVCP140.dll and VCRUNTIME140.dll) are part of the "Visual C++ Redistributable". Install that, and the missing files will be installed in their correct location.
1. Search for "Visual C++ Redistributable"
2. Follow the video instructions on which version to choose
Note!! That you might need to install both versions 64 bit , and 32 bit, It depends on the program you're trying to run and which file version it's trying to access
3. Install, you're done
Long explanation:
When you try to run a program and you get the message
"The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found."
And right after it the message
"The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found."
The MSVCP140.dll and VCRUNTIME140.dll not found Error message that appears when you try to run the application is caused by a missing corrupted / library, the origin of the problem could be many, but the solution is the same, getting the files and the library directly from Microsoft.
To get the files directly from Microsoft you will need to get to the relevant redistributable, in this case the files you are looking for are part of the Visual C++ Redistributable, This is a free download that is available for Windows 10, Windows 7 And other Windows versions. one of the important things explained in the video is how to get the correct version for your computer either the 64 bit , or 32 bit.
If that doesn't fix your issue immediately it could be the case that the program you're trying to run is looking for a different version of the redistributable, and you might need to install the other version as well..
Just remember that absolutely under no circumstances should you download DLLs from any location other than the official Microsoft Windows website.
